We wish more builders came with a tool for creating tables. Until then, we’re happy using TablePress.This long known plugin works great for presenting data. We only wished there were more responsive / mobile display options.

I have been using the free TablePress plugin for three years, and I am satisfied with it. You can make customizations to change various aspects of the table layout, and I prefer it to the native WordPress component.The support from Tobias Bäthge is always punctual, polite and very fast, questions asked in the morning are answered the same day.

I use TablePress on many client websites — the tables it creates are more functional and attractive than the basic WP tables. I really appreciate the ability to filter, sort and search! Responsive and friendly support when needed.

During the past year, I searched for an app that offers sticky headers, column sorts, font colors for particular words, colors and fonts to match the site template, a search bar, and buttons to print the table or download a PDF. TablePress was the best option available at a reasonable cost.
